Bryter posted:And keep your fingers crossed that the rank and file aren't won over by Cruz's "this is a recipe for disaster, elect a true conservative like me" pitch. If Trump gets crushed, you can bet that every Republican rival to Cruz in 2020 will be saying "could not even win a primary against America's greatest joke of a candidate" in unison.

Was there ever an official Jeb and the Infinite Sadness video or did he flame out too pathetically for anyone to even bother?

Louisgod posted:Corey being fired with no heads up is strangely reminiscent of another recent GOP campaign. Was it Jeb or somebody else that also had people get fired at random times? Scott Walker fired his campaign manager Rick Wiley for alleged financial mismanagement a few days before Walker dropped out (his campaign was flat-broke). Wiley was later hired, then fired, by Trump.

The moment he’d said it, he knew he would never forget it. He stammered his goodbyes to the New Hampshire crowd and stepped into the room that was prepared for him. He was alone. He looked at the droopy man in the mirror and sighed as he took off his glasses. Oh jeez, Pops isn’t gonna be happy about this one, he thought, rubbing his eyes. What happened, Jeb? he thought, a nervous grin he didn’t realise he’d smiled appearing on his jolly face. He’d followed all of Georgie’s advice. He made jokes. He wore a hoodie. He even managed to get Ma to endorse him! That was difficult. He had to sweep the porch — twice. “Please clap.” It hurt more to think back on it. Gosh, why did he even say it? Was he being recorded? Of course he was being recorded, dummy. He sighed. What was he gonna tell Pops? He had to be strong. Like Georgie. He had to be President. Like Georgie. “Governor?” The voice came from the door. It was one of his aides. “Yeah I’ll uhh” - he realised his voice was breaking and cleared his throat - “I’ll be right out.” “All I ever wanted was to play bass guitar,” he said to nobody in particular. His voice came out as a low whine, like a rabbit that suffered a minor wound. It caught him by surprise, he didn’t even know where it had come from. Did he want to play bass guitar? Does he? All he knew was that he was sad, and tired. Tired of talking to all these people, trying to suck up to them for something he wasn’t even sure he wanted. No. He did want this. He was gonna be the next President, and he was gonna fix this country. He’d show all of them. Starting with him. He shivered at the thought of that giant, orange bully. Interrupting, shouting, calling him names… it was like being back at school again, when people would give him wedgies, steal his lunch money, and flush his head down the toilet. God, he still really hated Texas U. He sighed again. He reached into a pocket and felt the bundle of tiny plastic turtles in his hand. “Slow and steady,” he said to himself, once again flashing a smile that didn’t touch his eyes. He would say that to each kid he met on the campaign trail and hand them one of the turtles. It was more for his own benefit than for theirs. He looked at his Apple Watch. It was time to go now. He took a deep breath, and looked at himself in the mirror one last time. He smiled again, but with confidence — presidential confidence. He jabbed at the air with a couple of punches, imagining the space in front of him as that jaundiced, smug bully. “Please clap.” it came again as he was walking out of the room, jacket flung over one shoulder. The smile did not falter, but a single tear rolled down his chubby cheek.

Karl Sharks posted:yeah but he's not going to go rogue and vote against the administration's agenda Well, Biden did kind of go rogue on the gay marriage issue, considering that Obama had always been pretty quiet on the topic, and then Biden says in an interview something like "I support same-sex marriage, and the President does too," effectively dragging Obama into the debate.

I'm saying I guess if your Hillary or the Dems you can't emphasis that without drawing the ire of Roethlisberger's lawyers and a bunch of voters who care about the Steeler over all other issues. She'd probably lose PA doing it.

CSM posted:A large part of that 30% would be really, really pissed if Trump doesn't get the nomination. It would shatter the Republican party and they'd still lose the election. I am not inclined to believe anyone saying that the RNC has a clear best path to manage the Trump reality. They GOP has gotten into a p. severe Kobayashi Maru situation and has to just pick whatever bad choice they're willing to live with. I'm just a simple country shitposter, but I'd suggest letting Trump fuckin' bomb in the general. Do everything possible to distance Candidate Trump from the party as an entity, don't fund his campaign, and focus fervently and explicitly on turnout and the downticket. If it comes down to "vote your conscience for POTUS, even if that means leaving that line blank on your ballot—but definitely come out to vote Republican for everything else" as the driving message for several months, so be it. Hell, openly promote the Johnson Option, which hurts Trump, gives dissatisfied GOP voters a top-ticket reason to come vote, and let's the GOP spend four years talking about mandate-free  because of a spoiler candidate.Push for party unity behind ideals instead of a toxic candidate, and drill the point that the GOP needs to hold Congress to support those ideals. Let Trump twist in the wind without going so far as to replace him as nominee.

JT Jag posted:Florida residents have no recollection of him being this much of a doofus as governor and until this primary largely held him in high esteem. It's weird. I just assume Jeb retreated into the Bush Bubble for a decade and emerged a clueless simpleton. Jeb's campaign might have made more sense in 2006 but it was left in some sort of suspended animation.

Trump does not even have to respond to this Firing news. Corey did all of his talking for him. While I wish that CNN showed the Biden speech, the interview was mind blowing and even the other CNN reporters were lost by all the poo poo he said.

I take it as a point of pride that everywhere I move I wind up on the local Republican party's "voters to target" list and constantly get expensive mailers they wasted money sending to me. I will bleed the Republicans dry 45 cents at a time.
